Subject: PDF format incompatibility (jumbo-7 vs. jumbo-8)

I prepared 2 test files, obne freom the jumbo-7 pdf tst cases, one from
the jumbo-8 test cases (both attached).

I also built a john binary based on the jumbo-7 version (john-j7) and
one based on latest git (john-j8).

Tests start with an empty john.pot.

Apparently, pfd format considered these hashes as valid, but missed to
crack them using single mode.

Now, let's use jumbo-7 again to insert these into the pot file:

Jumbo-8 doesn't recognize the hashes which were stored in john.pot by
jumbo-7.
IMHO, jumbo-8 needs a prepare() function which converts the
$pdf$Standard* hashes into the format expected by the jumbo-8 valid().

Furthermore, the jumbo-8 valid() needs to be improved.
I.e., without a prepare() which converts the jumbo-7 hashes, the jumbo-8
version should have rejected them as invalid.
(After s/:$pdf$Standard/:$pdf$St/, jumbo-8 still treats the hashes as
valid, but it shouldn't.)
